Artisan Profile - Grant & Michelle of Eclectikid

Eclectikid emerged out of a desire to create stylish yet affordable kid's tshirts. As a family business, Eclectikid is a collaborative effort. Artist/husband Grant Brady's humorous and innovative designs are at the root of their success, while his wife, Michelle and her mother, Shirley, design, sew and market complimentary accessories.


Grant and Michelle's son, Naylan, is the original inspiration. It was soon after he was born that they realized there were too few design options for little boys clothing and delved into the world of children's apparel.



Grant had often found himself busy sketching odd and funny images. Michelle came up with the concept of transforming these sketches into cool graphic designs for a line of children's shirts. The result was a fun and colorful approach to children's clothing that has grown from just kids' tshirts into a full line including messenger bags, totes, baby blankets, hooded towels and now, adult tshirts too!
